111 Motivational SECRETS For Entrepreneurs

Being a woman in India is a tough task, and being a business woman even tougher. This is a truth for those ladies who are stopped due to reasons like societal barriers, geographical barriers and sometimes educational barriers, ultimately leading to low confidence and not doing anything for their dreams. On the other hand, this is a myth for those women who, in spite of all the gazes and pull-backs in their home and office environments, go ahead and turn out to be leaders in their fields.

Wondering how they do it?

Hey, you’ve got a heart full of compassion and a mind that can distinguish. What stops YOU then? Sometimes it’s a little push that you need and here we are to push you over the cliff. Don’t worry, you won’t fall. There are little wings hiding beneath your arms. Let them grow and fly.

Oops! You fell down. Don’t frown, smile back and come over the cliff again. Keep repeating and exercise those wings to make yourself strong enough. One day you’ll see yourself making someone else understand how to fly.

For entrepreneurs, any age, it is very important to focus because they’re sure to have a lot of distractions. For the times of distractions, here are some quotes that’ll push you forward. Keep it ready with you always, if you’re seeing yourself as one.
